Re: pipeline or declare-step?

If you happen to want a pipeline that:

1. Has a single non-sequence input
2. Has a single non-sequence output
3. And allows parameters

then p:pipeline is a convenient syntactic shorthand for the
p:declare-step that would provide the same features.

We expect this to be a common case, so I'd probably suggest that most
folks start with p:pipeline most of the time. As it happens, I prefer to
be more explicit so I prefer p:declare-step. But I'm weird.
